We loved it here! Wonderful pool for the kids, tasty breakfast. The grounds are beautiful and loved seeing the volcano in the afternoon once the clouds cleared a bit. The front desk guy even brought me over to see a mama sloth with her baby that was spotted on the grounds. Loved! Would definitely recommend!

Staff was super nice. The hotel is a walking distance from restaurants, grocery stores, the center of town is just 10 minutes walk. My room was cleaned every day. The place is very beautiful. I don't like that there was not WiFi in the rooms. And the breakfast was the same everyday. Beside that everything was good.
